LIVE from Hochfilzen: the men's relay closes the third stage of the World Cup, Italy for the top 5

Appointment at 14:00 for the second men's relay of the season, the final race of the (first) stage of Hochfilzen. For Italy there will be Bionaz at the launch and followed by Hofer, Bormolini and Windisch.

The Azzurri will try to confirm the excellent fifth place obtained last week in Kontiolahti. Instead, France and Norway are the favorites for the victory. The transalpines, galvanized by the four podiums won between Sprint and Pursuit, will try to storm their Scandinavian rivals and redeem the disappointment of the first relay, which closed in 8th place. Here the start list! Here the IBU live timing! The “bleus” line up at the launch Guigonnat, which takes the place of an opaque Desthieux, followed by Jacquelin, Claude and Fillon Maillet. Among the Norwegian ranks there are instead Laegreid, Dale (awarded after the victory in the Sprint and the podium in the pursuit and lined up in place of Christiansen) and the Boe brothers, with Johannes closing the relay. Sweden and Germany will also fight for a podium finish. This is the Swedish quartet: Femling, Nelin, Ponsiluoma and Samuelsson. Slightly disadvantaged in this fight the German team, which will not be able to count on Arnd Peiffer, already absent in Friday's Sprint. In its place will be Horn.
